The Queen is holding your daughter captive.
Is she?
It seems she expected as much when she entered the palace.
She told me the story of a hen.
That I should wait for it to lay me an egg each day.
Did you...
tell her that story?
She wanted to tell the story,
and I told her that it would be of no use.
You were right.
An egg a day does not satisfy me.
That is my daughter's weakness.
She thinks everyone is human.
I would like you to...
hand over all your assets.
Then I will talk to the King for you.
You will regain your title...
and the right to manage your assets as before.
- And my daughter? - Sorry.
The public will notice.
I cannot mar the King's reputation by making him make an exception.
I must give you everything...
when you cannot save my child?
Do you want to lose everything you have and be exiled instead?
I know you are not well.
Will you even make it to your new home?
You serve the master inside, do you not?
My lady did not come home last night.
Not since she dressed up to go to the palace.
My master will not tell me anything. I am so worried.
Do you know anything?
Go!
Get him.
I own a small house in Sokcho.
This is the deed to that house.
There is a small pavilion.
The view is quite splendid.
This is all I have.
The rest of my assets...
have been handed out already.
Do you call this a joke?
I left everything to my daughter long ago.
So...
it is not me you must save.
It is my daughter.
Move it.
Search every room.
They must be here.
It is the King's order. Search.
Search every store and house that belongs to Eun Young Baek.
He cannot have burned the papers.
They must be somewhere.
- My lord. - My lord.
Do not do this.
My lord.
- My lord. - Get out of the way.
No. Let us through.
- My lord. - My lord.
My lord.
- My lord. - My lord...
Where is he?
The butler.
- Find him. - I will.
He already has 2 out of 3.
The Crown Prince has 2 out of 3.
1 of those 2...
is the Chancellor.
My son is about to marry his daughter.
The ministers think highly of the Chancellor.
They are the same ministers who complained that...
I favored certain people and rules from the back room.
If the Crown Prince gains him, he gains all of them.
And the second?
Eun Young Baek.
He is rich enough to afford 20 percent of our land.
He is not that rich.
I should have known something was wrong...
when the Crown Prince called her his and tried to save her.
It was not the girl. It was her father's riches.
They said...
Minister Eun left all his assets to his daughter already.
That young lady is a walking windfall.
I would want her.
I would risk my life to gain her favor.
So...
where is that walking windfall?
She seems to be hidden.
Where?
Some say the Crown Prince's palace.
Some say the Queen's.
It is looking bad.
The King's men are outside.
What is going on?
Jang Eui.
We are completely surrounded.
The King's men at the front, the soldiers at the back.
The King's men and soldiers?
The King must have sent them. You will be grounded soon.
Minister Eun was arrested, and his house ransacked.
That is because he found out about So Hwa.
He is currently looking for her.
You must leave before the King orders your house arrest.
I will not move.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
- Jang Eui. - Yes, Your Highness.
Go to Lin. So Hwa is with my mother.
Lin will be able to enter.
Tell him to get her and run.
Will the Queen let her go?
She will.
The Crown Prince is under house arrest.
Unless I give an order,
no one is to go in or out of...
the Crown Prince's palace. Remember that.
You.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go yourself.
Search the Crown Prince's palace for her.
What about the Queen's?
If she is not with the Crown Prince,
I shall search the Queen's palace myself.
All those riches.
Pardon?
What does my son...
want to do with all of...
Minister Eun's riches?
Jin Gwan.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Go to Geumgajeong.
The King cannot find out about them.
There is a place called Geumgajeong.
They say it is where the Crown Prince goes...
to train with his bodyguards, but...
But?
There is talk that...
the facility is of a grander scale.
Yet more talk?
According to a trusted source, the number of soldiers there...
- Soldiers? - Outnumbers...
your personal guards.
Jang Soo.
Yes, Your Highness.
I need you to help me stall.
Why are you so shy?
Your Highness.
These are my chambers. What is the fuss?
The King has issued a command.
It seems so.
You are to refrain from leaving the grounds,
and are to await the command.
This is my guest.
I must see her off before it gets too noisy.
May I ask who she is?
Do not worry.
Your Highness.
There is no chair or bed.
It must have been so uncomfortable.
It is all right, Your Highness.
This seems like a palace compared to where I used to live.
Right, it is the palace.
I would like to sit and talk.
Well...
Do not just stand there.
Sit here.
Whom are all these for?
Tell us!
If you want some, say so.
I could sell you some.
Where are they?
The dumplings? In the steamer.
We found something fishy!
Search the place!
Let us go.
What are you doing here?
There is no one there. Everyone fled.
- You see... - As you can see,
the inn is not taking customers.
Do you know where they all went?
I could or could not.
We worked at the inn.
We are hiding for now, but we live there.
Was the Chancellor's third son here?
I went to see him, and he had left.
The Chancellor?
He must be high up.
Why do you want to know that?
We do know a lot but...
That is what my lady told me.
When all fails, to go to him.
- Your lady? - You people...
know her as So Hwa.
We know So Hwa.
- We know her. - He said, "my lady".
She is...
the Minister of Finance's daughter.
Is she really?
How dare you come in here!
I have the King's order.
As of this moment, entry and exit...
to your palace are forbidden.
Until the King issues further order,
no one, not even you, Your Highness,
can leave your chambers.
It is the eunuch.
You did not know he was the Crown Prince at first?
Thinking about it still gives me the shivers.
I treated him so badly, and was so rude to him.
If you had seen us,
you would have hung me upside-down.
But then,
he disliked being Crown Prince since he was young.
It seemed so.
He seemed much nicer when he was outside the palace.
Do you not like him inside the palace?
No. He wears flashy clothes,
but he is like...
There is a craftsman called Baek Do.
He is very talented at making accessories.
He said...
the Crown Prince ordered this piece.
He did.
Why did you keep it on you?
I thought I should return it.
Return it?
He will marry someone else soon.
I thought I should not keep it.
What did the Crown Prince say when he gave it to you?
I think he teased me.
He always does.
"You look strange. It does not suit you."
How do you treat the Crown Prince?
Who is the Crown Prince...
in your heart?
Before being the Crown Prince...
Yes?
I would like him...
to be my friend forever.
I envied him and his friendship with Master Lin.
I wished to be part of that.
Is it indigestion?
I noticed you were in pain for a while.
What are you doing?
Try to breathe deeply.
Inhale deeply, and exhale slowly.
Try not to think too much.
I was told that worry and concern do not solve problems.
You are only hurting yourself.
How dare you?
This.
Lin.
Take her.
Are you hurt?
I am not.
I was not beaten.
We must go.
This is fascinating.
You always come for me whenever I am captured.
We may have to run.
Please get changed.
You cannot go home. Mount Duta seems dangerous too.
- What about my father? - His Highness is looking for him.
He told me to find you a refuge first.
Do you have anywhere you can hide?
- What about Bokjeonjang? - No.
Then I will shave my head and become a nun.
Or I will dress up and hide in a kisaeng house.
I think...
this is a bit too big.
Those are my clothes. I grabbed them in a hurry.
I am relieved...
that you were not beaten.
And that you are not hurt.
Open the gates. Hurry up and open them.
Your horses are covered with dust.
It looks like you were on the road for the entire day.
You must have taken a journey far away.
If you guessed that, move aside. Everyone here is tired.
But...
it looks like you made a trip for nothing.
You left with an empty carriage, and it came back empty too.
How dare you cause a ruckus in this place?
Search the place!
I gave this to you.
I think you might need it.
Are you returning it to me?
I am temporarily lending it to you.
Over here.
Do not come forward.
Stay behind me.
Do you think things will go your way?
Do we fight to win or flee?
Of course,
to flee.
- Get them. - Go after them.
You should go first.
Please take care.
You can go this way.
Thank you.
Eun San the criminal.
You are before the King.
Why have you not fallen to the ground?
Father!
I ordered the Crown Prince to be confined to his place.
And I told him so.
Father.
How dare you go against my order?
Will you please hear me out?
Is this because of that wench?
I can explain everything.
Many people have told me to be cautious about you...
and to be suspicious about you.
But I did not listen to them.
When they said you shot an arrow to my head,
I did not think my son would dare to do that.
However,
what on earth are you trying to do?
Father.
Take that wench...
Think about the Minister of Finance's fortune.
What about his fortune?
Do you think I cannot be King without that fortune?
All of the fortune in this land is mine.
What are you all doing?
Take that wench away, and put her on the list of tribute girls.
And brand her with an envoy's mark.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
How dare you touch her?
Look at what he is...
Do you really wish to die?
Let go of her!
It is my order.
Do you not hear me?
Let go of her!
You...
Do you...
truly want to die...
in my hands?
(The King in Love)
Because of me, Young Master Lin was...
I will take care of this.
Did you ask her if she would stay by your side?
What if...
she says no?
She has no choice. I cannot go on without her.
Go. Go and ask for help. Hurry!
This is who I am.
She has been abducted.
Abducted?
Please tell him...
to live in peace for a long time.
